So, starting Sunday the PS2 will be 99$ at Target. I thought I'd give everyone here a heads up.
So, is it time for me to finally go back and get one of these? I really really really need to play God of War I and II, especially considering I'll be buying God of War: Chains of Olympus for my PSP. It's odd, I have a PS3 (40g, yeah yeah-I should have just gotten the BC) and a PSP, but I haven't owned a PS2.
Is it worth 100$ if all I really want is both God of Wars?

Convince yourself that you really only want it for GoW, but let yourself bask in the awesomeness of the PS2 catalog.
Pretty much the best system ever made. I need a new one as well, since the latch on my PS2 is shot and doesn't detect the lid as being closed.
Yeah, the only problem is that when I start thinking about it I'd have to get a memory card, component cable, and then all those games. I mean, I could just use that wonderful money on finally buying Guitar Hero III and other shit I like for the ps3. It's a tough call, but I might just pull the trigger.
It's just for Target, but as per usual you can price match at pretty much any other big box store in your area. Honestly though, I imagine it's just a sign of a standard universal price cut...soon anyways.
Oh, you'll be playing on an HD? I'm sorry. Only a few PS2 games will look good, even with component cables. But the GoW games will (I believe the second was specifically optimized for HD).
I use an hdmi cable from my ps3 to my tv. I have the component ps3 cables laying around somewhere. But they'll work with the PS2?
Grab PS2, about 10 or so must have games (probably now in the bargain bins) and presto, fun as gaming at cheap ass price. Sorry, I just have a friend who loooves video games, but in his situation, they are a luxury but this is good news. ^^

Maybe it's finally slowing down?
No way. That'd make the unit itself much larger
The redesign released in Japan is the same size and has an internal power converter. It hit in December, and I was damn sure it would have hit the states at $99 right in time for Christmas, but I guess the PS2 is still selling just fine at $129 that Sony didn't feel the need to drop the price any.
I'm curious as to whether or not it's the redesign, or if this price cut is just to get rid of all of the stock before the new PS2 model hits shelves in NA.

I see! SCPH-90000
cool
Probably because the Gamecube's library is somewhat dismal compared to the PS2's. No bias here, it's just plain fact. Yes, the PS2 has way more shitty games, but it also has way more awesometastic games. It's the games that drive the price of the hardware.
Uhhh... when is the last time you saw a brand new GameCube for $30? MSRP on Cubes is still $99.99 as far as I can tell.
I can pick up a used PS2 for $50 on Craigslist. What the fuck does that have to do with anything?

Supply and demand.
For various reasons.
Some simple, some complicated.
Did it ever sell for $30 new?
Don't be stupid. You can't compare used prices to new prices.
Amazon DotD had a GC for $35 at one point.
